HTTP service crash via malformed refresh-token header
Published Jun 15, 2026 · Updated Jun 15, 2026
Input handling in LLDAP 0.6.2 allows remote attackers to crash its HTTP service through a malformed refresh-token header. The get_refresh_token() helper in server/src/auth_service.rs calls HeaderValue::to_str().unwrap() on attacker-controlled non-ASCII header bytes, causing a panic instead of an authentication error. Unauthenticated access to the refresh or logout route is sufficient, and repeated requests can keep the default single-worker HTTP interface unavailable.
